Outfitting the Saints

Before the days of celebration of the birth of Jesus there was the promise of the coming King. When He came He was declared King. As God’s people, let us remember that our celebration each year is to remember that He is the King and thus requires our devotion. When God established Israel as a nation of His people, there was a promise of the coming of Jesus. Jacob gathered his sons together and tol...

We find ourselves today living in a post Christian nation. Our response has been to indulge in the offerings of the society, seeking pleasure, money, things, instead of seeking God. We have bought into the deception. Our nation was founded on Biblical principles, and we have even seen evidence of this in the historical records kept. As much as we have seen, we still are not willing to do what is n...

Thanksgiving is upon us. This year things are a little different. Some people will be gathering with family or friends to celebrate this national holiday. Others will be by themselves. This day has its roots in the first thanksgiving when the pilgrims shared a meal together with the native people of the land. They gathered to give thanks to God for a bountiful harvest! Thanksgiving is about God's...

We know that when we have a physical problem, we tell the doctor what the symptoms are so that they can diagnosis the underlying problem. Today we are seeing God’s people becoming more distressed with each passing day. The symptoms indicate a disease that grows worse every day. God’s word tells us it is caused by God’s people, believers, disregarding the truth and are being caught up in the things...

In our day, if you want the word of the day you turn on the television, computer, or radio and listen to man’s opinion. Man’s opinion on the electronic media is not the word of the day we should seek. Some people sit down with a devotional to get the word of the day. My wife and her sister-in-law have a hymn of the day that they share, which has been great. The word of the day that comes from God...

In a couple of days, there is going to be a national meltdown. Many people will believe that God has not listened to their prayers about this situation while others will think that God has answered theirs. In times like these we need to keep our attention on the LORD! It reminds me of when the disciples were out on the sea of Galilee and a storm came up and they were afraid. Jesus came walking on...

People encounter Jesus every day. Each one has a decision to make. Some choose eternal life, while others reject Him and walk away. Eternal life is offered to all; John 3:16, For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believe in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. Why do some take it and others do not? The scripture gives us answers to this paradox. I...

We live in a fast paced world. We have so many things on our plates that we are burdened and weary as we press on through this journey. We seemed to be plagued with great concerns over our family’s well being, our jobs, the anarchy that is going on in our nation and the worry what tomorrow will bring. And to cause greater concerns we listen to what is reported on the media that works people up int...

In the course of our life, and on a regular basis, we need to exalt the Lord in our life! If we don’t lift Him up, then we are cheating ourselves of joy. I often hear, what is there to say, it is just trials and tribulation everywhere… If we lift up the Lord then we are caught up in who He is and we are drawn out of despair!

When John the Baptist saw Jesus coming to him, he proclaimed, “Behold the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!” In the times we live in, this foundational and eternal truth should resonate in our hearts! Let your life be anchored in this unchanging fact that keeps us from drowning in the chaos that surrounds us! In this passage today, we will look briefly at the old sacrifices, the fin...

We began 3 weeks ago addressing a perceived problem, is that time at hand for Christ’s return. Every thing seems to point to it happening right now. Look what is happening to the world around us and the nation that we live in. We pointed out that similar things to this have happened throughout church history. And they all thought the Lord was returning. It is not wrong for us to look for His retur...

Last week we shared the hope and confidence that we have in the Lord’s coming. We said that what is going on today is not what it seems that many have shared, but that it is something else. The time of His return is appointed by the Father and not something we can even guess at. The things we see going on today are a result of God’s people seeking after the wrong things. God reminds them why they...

We see some things unfold that has the appearance of the return of the Lord Jesus Christ. People are singing God’s praises openly in hopes that God will listen and defeat the enemy or that He will catch His people away. But what does God’s word tell us about His return, what is happening now, and how we can correct our ways. We should always be looking for His return. But we must weigh everything...
